Building Performance Evaluation
Building performance evaluation (BPE) is used to analyse construction quality by investigating how a building is performing. The information gathered can be used to optimise operational performance, undertake remediation measures where necessary and feedback lessons learnt to assist the design and construction of future projects. BPE can be used to demonstrate build quality, increase occupant satisfaction, and reduce running costs.
We evaluate all aspects of building performance, often linked to services we work on at design and construction stages. These typically fall into the following key areas:
- Indoor Environmental Quality (Thermal Comfort, Daylight, Acoustics, Indoor Air Quality);
- Heat Networks; (Operational Monitoring, Validation, Acceptance Testing)
- Energy & Fabric Performance; (Be Seen, Thermographic Surveys)
- Post Occupancy Evaluation (including BREEAM, WELL, BUS Methodology for Evaluating Occupant Satisfaction, Soft Landings).
Our BPE experts are Chartered professionals and follow the BS 40101 methodology for building performance evaluation of occupied and operational buildings.
By considering building performance and end user requirements early in the design process, we can put an appropriate strategy in place to allow straightforward and effective monitoring during operation. From design stage through to post occupancy, we will help you ensure that your buildings are fit for purpose and operate efficiently with high levels of occupant satisfaction.
Our client focused approach puts your specific needs first, tailoring the performance evaluation to each individual project. Whether that’s responding to customer queries, discharging a planning condition, reducing running costs, obtaining BREEAM credits or showcasing good build quality and operational performance.
